This is in a web application environment:

An initial request is able to successfully complete, however any additional requests return a "Session is Closed" response from the NHibernate framework. I'm using a HttpModule approach with the following code:

public class MyHttpModule : IHttpModule
{
    public void Init(HttpApplication context)
    {
        context.EndRequest += ApplicationEndRequest;
        context.BeginRequest += ApplicationBeginRequest;
    }

    public void ApplicationBeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CurrentSessionContext.Bind(SessionFactory.Instance.OpenSession());
    }

    public void ApplicationEndRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ISession currentSession = CurrentSessionContext.Unbind(
            SessionFactory.Instance);

        currentSession.Dispose();
    }

    public void Dispose() { }
}

SessionFactory.Instance is my singleton implementation, using FluentNHibernate to return an ISessionFactory object.

In my repository class, I attempt to use the following syntax:

public class MyObjectRepository : IMyObjectRepository
{
    public MyObject GetByID(int id)
    {
        using (ISession session = SessionFactory.Instance.GetCurrentSession())
            return session.Get<MyObject>(id);
    }
}

This allows code in the application to be called as such:

IMyObjectRepository repo = new MyObjectRepository();
MyObject obj = repo.GetByID(1);

I have a suspicion my repository code is to blame, but I'm not 100% sure on the actual implementation I should be using.

I found a similar issue on SO here. I too am using WebSessionContext in my implementation, however, no solution was provided other than writing a custom SessionManager. For simple CRUD operations, is a custom session provider required apart from the built in tools(ie WebSessionContext)?
